I BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty: from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen.

OUR FATHER, Who art in heaven hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

GLORY to God in the highest. And on earth peace to men of good will. We praise You. We bless You. We adore You. We glorify You. We give You thanks for Your great glory. O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. 0 Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father: You Who take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us. You Who take away the sin of the world, receive our prayer. You Who sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For You alone are holy. You alone are the Lord. You alone, O Jesus Christ, are most high. Together with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

I thought I would take a short break from sharing my translation of English - Latin prayers to provide something I wondered about. Here's the list I found. I also believe that a Priest will cover the Ten Commandments as the context.

This is just a list, and conditions apply, especially regarding Divorce in Civil Court.

Here we go:

Abortion

Adultery

Apostasy

Adulation of another's sin

Bestiality

Blasphemy

Cheating and unfair wagers

Envy

Contraception

Defrauding of a just wage

Divorce

Extortion

Practicing magic or sorcery

Hatred

Fornication

Masturbation

Heresy

Drug usage

Endangering

Incest

Idolatry

Missing Mass

Lying

Freemasonry

Homosexual actions

Murder

Perjury

Prostitution

Rape

Pornography

Euthanasia

Scandal

Sacrilege

Extreme anger

Schism

Terrorism

Unjust prices

Simony

Polygamy

Suicide

Mortal sins require absolution, so check with your Priest. You may have some trouble getting clarity after you commit suicide.

Again, ALL YOU HAVE HERE IS A LIST. I'm not making any judgments and don't consider me an authority.

Yesterday, the Pastor at Our Lady of Victory in Paris, Texas, told me about an on-line translation program at Notre Dame.It's different than other translation applications for Latin. You should have access to it.It's called William Whitaker's WordsSince the program lives in the archives, I decided to take advantage of the desktop version.You can also download the program http://archives.nd.edu/whitaker/wordswin.htm.I decided to download the desktop version in case the on-line version gets link rot and disappears.Here's a sample of what I found.The main screen let's you put a word into a text box. I chose " animas". You can see the result below.

I found the program quite helpful for my Latin studies and to check the glossary of words attached to my prayer entries.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within thy wounds hide me. Permit me not to be separated from thee. From the wicked foe defend me. At the hour of my death call me. And bid me come to thee. That with thy saints I may praise thee For ever and ever. Amen.

I looked for a Catholic Prayer Book in the Latin format but did not find one. I don't mind the work, so I decided to post as many a possible, and as I do one every day or two, I hope to eventually compile them into a PDF. Please excuse the formatting. Blogger powered blogs, present some drawbacks.
